South Africa College
High School (SACS) have won the opportunity to play in the Cobras franchise
final of the 2019 Coca-Cola® Schools T20 Challenge tournament. This was after
winning the Western Province Coca-Cola® Schools T20 Challenge Provincial Finals
that were played at Rondebosch Boys High School, Newlands on the 23rd
and 24th February.
This year’s
provincial finals were played over two days and started off at the quarter
final stage with Wynberg Boys High School, Western Cape Sports School,
Strandfontein Cricket Club, Bishops, Rondebosch Boys High School, Primrose HUB,
Newlands Cricket High School and South Africa College High School (SACS)
playing against each other representing their province.
SACS beat Newlands
Cricket High School by 2 wickets in the quarter-final, Rondebosch Boys High
School by 5 wickets in the semi-final and Wynberg Boys High School by 2 wickets
in the final.
The final was
extremely exciting going down to the final ball of the game where SACS batsman,
Ben Levitt, managed to hit 2 runs to win the game for his team. There was
little to tell between the teams but there had to be a winner and SACS managed
to hold their nerve and win the match.
The SACS captain
Daniel Smith said “It is special to play in the Coca-Cola Schools T20 Challenge
where we get to test ourselves against the top teams in South Africa. We don’t
want to look to far ahead but we would like to win our franchise finals and
represent the Cobras in the Coca-Cola Schools T20 Challenge at national
finals.”
The winner of the
Franchise finals will join other five franchises winners and the two schools
that qualified through the CSA Focus School programme at the
competition’s National Finals at the University of Pretoria from the 15th to
17th March 2019. The Coca-Cola Schools T20 Challenge winner stands to walk away
with R110 000.00 for their school.
